But yes, I do believe people is crazy online and that cazyness has even gotten to me. I used to be a quite person while playing, no swering and stuff. But there was something Iāve never liked: the disrespect and lag.
- Lag would drive me crazy (because Iām not performing as I should and as I know I can) itās just the same like playing with a broken stick during the old days, or a button wonāt working.
- Disrespect: it was uncommon when you are face to face to someone, but is upseting too.
You know, Iāve never seen the other person as AI, thatās why I get mad at them for being disrespectful, trashtalking, mean and social misfits to me. Why would I get mad at AI? it would be a waste of energy. I still donāt understand why people get mad at a dumb code XD If itās broken or too hard and I had enough I would just turn off the console and go outside to ride my bike. Itās important to take fresh air.
To people being too agressive or annoying I will use the report/block button. Iāll still may come across them but at least I wonāt hear them.

IVE BEEN ON OVERWATCH!
lol dont wanna moan guys but Season 3 lost its pull on me!
Dont get me wrong its a strong season and a 8.9 for me but that last row of charactersā¦ it just lacks things that S1 and S2 didnāt for me.
@FallofSeraphs76 if you wanna play im WELL up for it. This is still one of my favourite games of ALL TIME. But you boys @Dayv0 
included will need to pull me off other games for it. Ive found that although i LOVE Kim, Mira, Eyedoll and like Tusk, Arbiter and Gargos that the like has killed the desire to get better with the latter and keep coming back for more!
Season 1 and 2 pacing and content kept me playing for almost a full SOLID year but with a cast of only ā3 lovesā that has affected my time on the game!
Season 3 is the most balanced game so far BUT for me its newness died fast mostly due to the lack of stages, new characters, guests and a story mode that didnāt feature as much lore as id have liked. TOTALLY OFF TOPIC! (maybe thats why i havent been here as much)
so the moral of the story is:
GUYS BY ALL MEANS PLEASE SHOOT ME AN INVITE!. I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH SO MAKE ME SWITCH IT ON!!
our battles are always FANTASTIC, better than any other game, but you wont find me sitting on ranked or online every day like before.
who knows this little break (3 times a week rather than every day) might even give u a chance to beat me 
HAHA

I have two full days with family on Thursday and Friday then on Sat. I fly out for two weeks in Asia (gone for my birthday #sadpanda 
). I might be around in the evenings or early on Saturday but weāll see.
On topic, @Dayv0 thanks for posting this. I really enjoy playing with you and you definitely help me improve my play. I think having matching expectations definitely helps people have a good time. When I play @FallofSeraphs76 I know we are mostly just hanging out, so random character picks and general horsing around is the flavor of the day. If Iām playing @Dayv0 itās like tech development time, alternating with deep discussion about the game.
So much of this is simply the āgolden ruleā - how would you like your opponent to treat you? So you treat them the same way and it should prevent a lot of problems. What can I say that hasnāt been said already? Well, Iām turning 40 in the next few days, so be prepared to put up with my sentimental BS (hey, as far as mid life crises go, wasting too much time on a video game forum is not the worst possibility - screw you guys, donāt judge).
Itās worth pointing out though, that none of this suggests any of us are perfect or should expect to be perfect in our mindset all the time. We are playing a competitive game and itās okay to not enjoy every loss. I have been known to swear and pound on my fightstick when the mic is muted. I had a strong desire to send my opponent in an arena tournament the other day a note along the lines of ānice lag-assisted Shago, ā ā ā ā ā ā ā .ā But I didnāt. For all the reasons @Dayv0 cited above. This is a person, who I donāt know. Maybe heās the worldās biggest jerk. Maybe heās playing while feeding a baby and reading to his blind grandma or maybe KI is his escape from some brutal economic or social reality. I have no idea, but heās a person in any case, and regardless of whether heās a tool or a saint, it doesnāt make the world a better place if I send him a shitpost. Maybe if there had been no lag he would have beaten me worse. If you want to hear a compelling lecture on this topic, I would encourage you to look up David Foster Wallaceās 2005 commencement address (This is Water) to Kenyon College, 2005. Thereās a zillion versions of it on YouTube. Itās essentially about how you, not other people, control your perception of reality and if you choose to be angry and upset all the time you will be. But you can also choose to simply, not be. I would liken it to ānot having a scrub mentality about life.ā So yeah, itās okay to feel less than thrilled sometimes when you lose. But give yourself some time to cool down and for the love of god donāt run to the forums and demand nerfs/buffs when you are all salty from a loss.
I have made some efforts to send people notes especially after close or good matches, particularly if they are lower ranked and played well or seem like they need some help with aspects of their game. But I donāt do as much as I could. I have also tried to contribute positively to the forums, in order to be a good member of the community - but I havenāt always succeeded there either. But the point is to try. You wonāt be perfect, but itās about trying to improve yourself and about trying to make the world a better place rather than a worse one.
Which brings me to @MandrillManiac. Iām a bit torn on this, because while I appreciate @Dayv0ās sentiment that āanyone can be great at the game if they try,ā I think you have to also temper your own expectations. I know Iām not winning Evo. And neither are you. This is 99.99999% certain. So, if you adopt the mentality that you need to be the best, chances are you are quite simply going to fail. My point is, I donāt think you need to try to be the best in order to enjoy the game and to aspire to play at a high level. I would just recommend trying to be better today than you were yesterday. And then donāt cry over spilled milk. Just enjoy what you are doing and see where it takes you. And @WandaMaximoff, if where it takes you is to Overwatch, thatās great too. Iāve spent more hours this week playing FarCry: Blood Dragon - which is lame and yet hysterically awesome - than I have devoted to KI. Yes, the lack of hours is hurting my competitiveness. But I still love the game and I will be playing more when I have the time and inclination.
For those of you still awake, I salute you. This wall of text is dedicated to @WrathOfFulgore, who playfully pointed out that I tend to be a blowhard in the GGās thread. His punishment is getting tagged in and then held hostage to the whole post to find his name at the end.

You remind me of myself in past. I was always complains because I didnāt become best player while Season 1 and 2. I never win in KI tournament online while Season 2. I was not very happy until Season 3. I found my true main, itās Arbiter. I made it in top 16 - 8 with my Arbiter. Iām really happy for they put Arbiter in KI. You donāt have to be like Bass, Sleep or Storm179. Just be yourself. Iām not like other player. I am KevBones10. You are Mandrill Maniac. I believe you will be gud player someday. I hope you find your main in Season 4. Yeah, they didnāt confirm Season 4. I have 100% faith in you! You are our friends! 
@Dayv0 This thread is really good!

I think thatās not you, but the nature of the character. Iām not necessarily salty at the opponent, as a person, but at the characterās play style/design gameplay wise (Hisako having moves that you should be able to hit her out of but seemingly canāt unless she lets you, for example). I appreciate the respect Iāve had from @Dayv0 and I think he knows what Iām talking about, his Eyedol, to me, still proves that heās as broken/unbalanced as he was at launch, to a point. Itās all subjective really. I fought a player yesterday who had a mic, a rare occurrance for me to actually interact with someone I didnāt know directly from the forums, for example. I told him at the end of my game that āyouāve just been beaten by a blind playerā and his reaction was pretty nervous really - ānnno, youāre notā. The disbelief was actually quite funny. He played Jago and I played Fulgore and once I got how he was playing, It wasnāt hard to make him regret what he was trying to throw at me. 
With a match where I can interact with my opponent, as much as Iāll get salty, thereās perhaps a little less than if I canāt talk to them as you can sometimes see their own salt too.
Sending messages etc unfortunately doesnāt seem to be possible via pressing RT in ranked post-match menus, unfortunately otherwise Iād have messaged that opponent from earlier and told him GGs etc. Equally Iāve not had much hate, but I think if they knew I was a player with no sight, I believe it would probably come thick and fast
Itās an interesting conversation to have, as to whether weāre good or not, as we all have players to look up to, Evo or otherwise.
You forgot āhaving fun of Dayvo when he tries to say scheludeā[quote=āBigBadAndy, post:29, topic:16300ā]

There is always time for everything. I play a lot Battlefield 1 with my friends, but that doesnāt mean that Iām tired of KI. I mean, I love pizza, but I like eating pasta too, and Iām not betraying the pizza for that XD
I lolād hard XD
Who? If itās directed to me, I never made fun of you in any thread
Just wanted to say to @Dayv0 @BigBadAndy @KevBones10 @SonicDolphin117 @SlenderCashew50
@SightlessKombat
I was really not feeling well yesterday. And When Iām not feeling well, I spat out nonsense.
Iām like the hulk: When I get sick, hoo boy, you wonāt like me when Iām sick.
So Iām gonna say ignore what I said back then (I really shouldāve just stay offline the whole day) Because itās nonsense.
I am sorry.
